Herbs for asthma

To properly treat asthma, you must use herbs with the following properties:

bronchodilator, to dilate the bronchi and decrease resistance in the respiratory tract, therefore increasing airflow to the lungs.

antispasmodics, in order to ease spasms in the muscles, and therefore facilitate respiration.

anti-inflammatory, to reduce irritation.

And:

If you have a tendency to have mucus that goes in your lungs you can also add an expectorant herb, to help prevent buildup of mucus and saliva in the lungs.

If you think there is a risk of infection, you can also add an herb with antiseptic/antimicrobial properties to help reduce the secondary infection.
